This rate is adjustable - via a module parameter "poll_metering_interval". The current default - is 500ms which is good if the metering pulses are sent not more - often than once per second. - -Remark: The FXS hardware can generate maximum 0.85 volt RMS, while the FXO - needs a minimum of 1.1 volt RMS for detection. Therefore, this - feature cannot be tested in a loopback (Astribank-FXS to Astribank-FXO). |
